"Crazy"

Lilly Preston, 21, who lives nearby said that she has seen Police in the area for the last few days.

She said: There’s been police up here for the last few days driving up and down the road over the last week or so. It’s crazy when it all kicked off - there were more and more cars coming down, you had fire people and army people and bomb disposal. It’s so weird.”

“Officers attended and were supported by a specialist police dog unit who found no items of concern inside the property. This is not a terrorism-related incident and there is no risk to the public.

“Officers are remaining at the scene to continue searching the property.

"We're used to police cars here"

Another Chaffinch Road resident, who did not want to be named by said they had lived on the road for 24 years, has said that it is not the first time police have been up the road.

She said: “I just came down and saw that there were police cars.

“I’d been out shopping at around 11am but the whole street was full of fire brigade and police and cars everywhere when I came back at around 2ish.

“There were at least five police cars and two fire vans, like 4x4’s.

“We’re used to the police cars being up and down the street but what can you do. It’s scary but I’m not going to pack a bag and leave here – this is my home and I live here.

“It happens everywhere these days, but London’s a lot worse though.”

“There have been police and fire and rescue cars. There were four police cars there at one point and police officers keep going in and out.

“There have been officers there all the time and there were even some police dogs at one point.”

“They’ve been here all day and more of them are coming all the time.

“I can count four police cars, and one of the officers has just put on a padded vest.”

Residents mystified

Our reporter Les Steed is now at the scene in Horley.

One Chaffinch Way resident, who did not want to be named said: “We were woken up by police cars and flashing lights. There were loads of them here. It started with two and there’s more and more all day.

“I came here to see my auntie and there was police everywhere but no one has told us anything. It’s scary because we’ve got a disabled nan and some kids in here and you don’t know what’s going on. It could be anything.”
